We had a bit of a warm up today, a whopping 38 Degreess, so we layered up and stepped outside to get some fresh air. The flu hit me hard this past week and I was down for about 36 hours, but finally starting to feel myself again, so I figured the fresh air would do us some good!!

Sarah has been climbing the walls so I let her run around for a bit while I snapped away.....I think we got the whole gamut of faces from serious to silly......we had some tears too, she fell in the snow and got her hands all wet, which she hated!! I cleaned her up and then she wanted to wear her gloves.....you will notice that she does not put her thumbs where they belong....it looks so funny.....I try to fix them and she gets so angry, so I let it go.....I would think it would be uncomfotable, but she doesn't seem to mind.....

More birthday fun this weekend....Nick wanted to go to the Crayola Factory, so we are headed there tomorrow morning and meeting another Birthday girl and her family....we are so excited!! The first thing on our list of things to create will be the label for our new bottle of MONSTER GO AWAY SPRAY.....A special thanks to TONGGU MOMMAfor passing on her brilliant idea!! We will let you know if that special concoction....keeps the cookie monster and all his friends far far away!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!

:) I hope it works for y'all. Sweet Sarah needs to feel in control of those scary monsters. If the water mister doesn't work, try a flashlight or something. Anything that gives control back to her really should help.

Lisa,So glad you're feeling better now! Phew, when Momma is down the house just doesn't run quite as well, does it?Looks like you girls had fun in the fresh air today! Caroline won't keep her thumbs in place in gloves either. It's funny to see!Great photos, as always.Happy Friday! Have fun tomorrow!Hugs, Les

The monster spray sounds like a good plan. I like the idea of a flash light too.

You do such a great job with pictures! You should share your knowledge of how you make them so amazing looking on your blog. I'd love to have a piece of that cake. Also, let me know when the chocolate fondue party is....

Wow Lisa your photos are getting so good! I love the one of Lisa in the post below too. The gloves story is fab! Amy is obsessed with gloves and will only wear the ones with all the fingers and she then takes ages fighting to get all the fingers int he right place - I need the patience of a saint!! Love Julesxxx

Love all the images. That hat is too too cute. I hope you and the kids have a great time at the Crayola factory and let me know if that Monster-go-away label/spray works. I may have to whip up a concoction of it for my household :)

So what's the monster spray for? Is she having nightmares? My Sophia has been having night terrors and for over a week now she went from sleeping every night for 11 hours, to no naps, and not much sleep unless she's in our bed or in the guest room. Seriously she won't go in her room at all. We are finally getting her to play in there during the day with us. She is horrified of it. I hope she'll get over it soon. If she were old enough, I'd try the monster spray. I'm trying to post a link on my blog where you can read our adoption story. I'll let you know when it works?!? Don't know but it's giving me problems tonight. Enjoy your weekend.

She has the sweetest expressions! You always capture them so well!Have a great time at the Crayola factory. Faith and I read an article about it not too long ago. It had photos and she was fascinated with the giant blue crayon!Take lots of photos for us!I was catching up with your post below about Sarah. Faith has always had to sleep with some light at night. She is 5 and still does. I have a night light for her and if I forget to turn it on she will wake up screaming that she can not see. She can not stand the dark. With the exception of that, she has always slept wonderful so I just always make sure and have the light on for her. Maybe one day she'll outgrow it. Keep us posted!

The pictures of Sarah are so sweet! :) I am so sorry to hear you were sick with the flu, but thankful you are feeling better now. And what a cute idea~ the "Monster Go Away Spray"...even the name is catchy! :)

Sorry to hear you were sick! Hope you're feeling better now. 38 degrees!!! I'm so jealous, we can't seem to get out of single digits. Cute pics of Sarah. Magnolia does the same with her thumbs but I don't even try to get them in there, her fingers and hands are so small! :)Have a great weekend.

My Jennifer went through the scary monster stage, I gave her a shake flashlight and a spray bottle with scary monster repellent(small amont of water), she felt in charge of the situation and before we knew it she told us they had left and she scared them away forever!Love the pictures!

Hey!! One of my best friends lives near the Crayola Factory! We took the kids last summer... and I'll be heading there over spring break to say hello. My parents still live in PA too - middle of the state :)

Those pics are fantastic!! Inspires me to read that darn photography manual!! HAHA!!

Hi! I just popped over from Mrs Sandy Toes and I'm so glad I did! Your children are beautiful, and well, your photos are amazing! It's so funny seeing snow when I'm sweltering 'Down Under'... Does Rudy get cold paws?!!

I loved how you responded to the questions asked on Sandy Shoes blog. I concur with everything you wrote. Blogging is amazing in how it connects hearts and minds... I don't think I would like to be without it now...
